One person has been charged after Sault Ste. Marie Police Service officers responded to an apartment complex in the 300 block of Wellington Street East at approximately 11:45 p.m. Saturday night.
Police allege that “the accused assaulted a victim near the multi-unit residence by punching them and hitting them with the handle of a rake. Following the assault, the accused attempted to enter the victim’s residence.”
The accused had fled the area prior to police arrival, but was located a short time later on Grace Street and arrested.
Stewart Agawa, 59, stands charged with assault, assault with a weapon and forcible confinement, and is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 29.
